Cheesecake Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue mixing until well combined. Add the yuzu juice, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Incorporate Heavy Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until blended.

  3. 3

    Add Cornstarch

    Sift the cornstarch into the mixture and fold gently until there are no lumps.

  4. 4

    Bake the Cheesecake

    Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Pour the cheesecake mixture into a greased cake pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

  5. 5

    Cool and Chill

    Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour. Remove from the oven, allow to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Topping

    While the cheesecake is chilling, smash your choice of berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries) with a fork and sweeten to taste with sugar.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once chilled, slice the cheesecake and serve topped with the smashed berries.
